Hold up, wait a minute
Ain't nothin' but tutti-fruity
Get on the floor if ya got that booty
Yo, you got that funky beat
Let's do it, man

Yo, we got a little problem
Yeah, we - you and me
You gotta let me know somethin'
I don't know - you say you like me
So what's up?  You know what I'm sayin'?

You said it loud, and I heard you
Never tried to hurt you
Some say I'm old-fashioned
I like to take my time and do it slow
You know with the flow 
But don't try to rush it
So ride it like a horse 
And let nature take its course
Get to know each other
Be my friend not just my lover
Share your thoughts with me
Love my mind not just my body, baby

Do you really want me, baby?  Let me know
'Cause if you really like me I suggest you tell me so
Got no time for silly games, that ain't even why I came
'Cause I may be the kind of guy you like

Ain't nothin' but tutti-fruity
Get on the floor if ya got that booty
Wait a minute

Please understand the way I feel
I must have trust or there's no deal
My emotion's ain't to be
Played with or given free
I appreciate greatly
The way you toleratered me
Sometimes I do act flaky
Wouldn't blame you if you hate me
You put up with my butt
When I wouldn't give it up
Yeah, I know that really sucks
But if you wait awhile, I'll make it up

Do you really want me, baby?  Let me know
'Cause if you really like me I suggest you tell me so
Got no time for silly games, that ain't even why I came
'Cause I may be the kind of guy you like

Yeah, all right
I know what you're sayin', and it's cool but...
Yo, I gotta know what's up, you know what I'm sayin'?
'cause sometimes when we're alone kissin' and huggin' and things
I feel like, "Yo, is this it?  Is it really gonna happen?  Yes!"
And then pow! bam! boom! - nothing
Why you teasin' me?

Who me?  A tease?  Brother, please
You're just having bad memories
About some skeeze who did the squeeze
And had you on your hands and knees
Look, I am telling you straight out
That's not what I'm all about
I'd just be playing myself out
If I spent the night at your house
Now don't get me wrong
I didn't mean to turn you on
We haven't known each other long
But this is my life not just a song

Do you really want me, baby?  Let me know
'Cause if you really like me I suggest you tell me so
Got no time for silly games, that ain't even why I came
'Cause I may be the kind of guy you like

Ain't nothin' but tutti-fruity
Get on the floor if ya got that booty
